EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century print by Albert Henry Payne, titled "Lay not thine hand upon the lad for now I know that thow fearest God" beautifully captures a poignant biblical scene from Genesis chapter 22, verse 12. The artist's attention to detail and use of color bring this religious moment to life. In the image, we see an old man with a long white beard, representing Abraham in the Old Testament. He stands before us with his hand outstretched towards a young boy, symbolizing Isaac. This powerful gesture conveys both fear and faith as Abraham hesitates to sacrifice his beloved son at God's command. The print showcases Payne's mastery of engraving techniques as he skillfully portrays the emotions on each character's face. The viewer can almost feel the tension in the air as they witness this pivotal moment of trust between man and deity. As we contemplate this artwork, it reminds us of the profound themes explored in Christianity and its sacred texts. It serves as a visual reminder of our own struggles with faith and obedience when faced with challenging circumstances. This remarkable piece is part of The Print Collector collection curated by Adam Feyen. Its inclusion here allows us to appreciate Albert Henry Payne's talent while reflecting on timeless spiritual lessons conveyed through artistry across centuries.
